Around The Garden

What a week, torrential rains, wind, cold, frost warnings, yuck! However, all is calm again and I struggled to put in some of my plants that have been sitting around in and out of my garage.

I have just about completed the plantings in all of my large containers and just have some small table planters and my shed hayracks to plant. I do want to fill in my side border with some more spring blooming perennials, because it seems sort of bare after the tulips and daffodils die back, waiting for the summer perennials.

I did buy some metal artwork for the north side of my house to hang on the fence. Thank you (I think it was Jeanne) who had the idea of a gallery. If I am wrong please let me know. These are all works in progress, as far as gardens this is what is blooming today!

The clematis look great... speaking of scale... I've found it on two of my mugho pines and have been using an old bottle of Isotox which I believe has some systemic action... any advice on what might work better? Thanks, Larry

This week has been a mixture of weather. From frost to storms and sweltering high humidity. I just hope tat was the last of the cold spells.Your clematis's are so pretty and I wish my May Night Salvia was a large as yours.Mine is in the creeping stage this year. Have a wonderful weekend.Lona
